Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 742 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 742 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

742 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 742 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 439.62298056193 kt

The final result is:

742 ft/s → 439.62298056193 kt

We conclude that 742 feet per second is equivalent to 439.62298056193 knots:

742 feet per second = 439.62298056193 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0022746763572773 × 742 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 742 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0022746763572773 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seven hundred forty-two feet per second is approximately four hundred thirty-nine point six two three knots:

742 ft/s ≅ 439.623 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times seven hundred forty-two feet per second.
